Martha's Vineyard is a Must! - We loved the history, the beauty, and all else about Martha's Vineyard. A very nice tour. Our driver Brian was engaging and accommodating if we need time for stops for the long bus ride to the ferry. He also shared information along the way. Our island tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the island. He lives on a farm in the island and his family has lived there since the 1700's.

Great trip - Excellent trip. Our bus driver Johnny Boston was funny and full of information making the ride seem shorter than it was. The island bus driver was a wealth of knowledge about Martha’s Vineyard going back to the 1600’s to the present. We had a great day and the price was very reasonable.

Too expensive-Taken advantage of! - 7 days. Peak leaves -Everything overpriced! Hit us with $30 a day tolls,$30 a day car ins as they said ours won't cover. Hotels mostly $350-600 a night. Parking $25-30, lobster from $65 ea up and everywhere sweatshirts $60-$80! We won't go back. All in all cost us approx $4000. Talked into switching from Martha's vineyard to Nantucket. Boat ride for 2 round trip $190! Nice island but it's shop or eat. All too expensive-So we won't go back, but enjoyed our trip but feel raped!

Tour Guide Non-Appropriate - Tour guide repeated himself and told stories that were very disturbing and prejudicial. Very rude...

Day trip to Martha’s Vineyard with guided island tour. - Almost everything on Martha’s Vineyard was closed on 10/28 so it was no fun to look around. Houses were boarded up and shops were closed. The tour guide said it was the second to the last day they were even doing the tour. I paid $185 not including 2-$20 tips and it was really disappointing. They shouldn’t have offered the tour this time of year.

Not much to see - Not much to see on Martha's Vineyard. Best part of the tour was the shuttle driver to and from the ferry. It's a 2 hour drive from Boston to Woods Hole and our guide, Johnny Boston was both entertaining and informative. He helped the time pass quickly. Unfortunately once we got off the ferry the island itself was a big letdown. There is one scenic view, the Aquinnah Cliffs and lighthouse. Other than that it mostly looking at tree lined gravel drive ways that lead to unseen mansions of famous rich people and expensive boutiques in unremarkable small towns. There is a long rather boring beach where Jaws was filmed.

Don’t do it - Horrible experience, we were picked up late about 50 minutes late and then left in the 47° weather outside waiting for a tour bus we get to Martha’s Vineyard and the driver wants to charge us an extra $60 for a tour that only you get to see the road and oak trees and the ocean nothing else he talks about celebrity homes that you don’t see it’s only wooden cheap gates And nothing exciting. Don’t do it.!!! Bad bad horrible and boring
